Put in Lafford and Staffordshire.....see what comes up.

Bear in mind, Adrian, that any females born as Lafford would not now have the surname if they married

And you can't assume that any of these people stayed in the area in which they were born.............

Not being funny but if you are just wanting to know if there are still Laffords in the area ( ie Staffs) BT phone book online shows there are.

It is not a very common name so there aren't that many, if you work forward from the details given on the 1901 for example , you might find some of them are related if you don't already know them of course :-)

hi no no one specific just laffords

If there is somebody specific you what us to look for, let us know ;-)

Jolly good...........it's not easy trying to figure out how things work when you first start out.

Keep asking for help on this thread if you get stuck.

Happy researching..........Prickles.

thanks for the help I am trying to follow things up the best I can.

It is obvious that Adrian is a new member and he has clearly stated that he is new to all this.

I find your post quite patronising and if i was a new member.......it would most certainly put me off from asking for further help on the boards.

You've been given info................please try to follow it up by doing some research. You have been given suggestions about where to look.............

Make yourself familiar with freebmd......................

No point in posting a duplicate request when info has already been provided

the additional 'A' on the marriage index would appear to be a 'red herring'

Have you done any research?

The phone book is always a good place to look........................

Have you followed the advice offered by RamblingRose?
